Electrical Cables/Strain Reliefs

Electrical cables, whether hanging from a height or stretched out along a flat
surface, will have strain. Strain will damage the cable by either pulling apart the
connectors or separating the wires inside. A strain relief is a securing device on an
electrical cable that allows the cable to move freely without separating it from the
connector or power supply. The strain relief allows flexibility in the cable without
putting stress on attachment points. Beta Max strongly recommends the use of
strain relief devices on the electrical cables to protect the hoist, connectors, and
power supply from damage.
NOTE: Beta Max requires a 50 percent duty cycle for portable hoists. This means the
hoist should be in continuous operation for only 20 minutes out of every 40 minutes.
WARNING
Failure to observe a safety instruction noted by WARNING could result in severe injury or death.
Ensure all supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with this
equipment provide an adequate safety factor to handle the rated load plus the weight of the
equipment. Consult the Scaffold Industry Association (SIA) for guidance in safely erecting the
scaffold. If in doubt, consult a qualified structural engineer. This equipment is not to be used for
lifting, supporting, or transporting people or lifting or supporting loads directly over the top of
people. Beta Max, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the incorrect or unsafe use of this equipment.
WARNING
This hoist is not designed for lifting or transporting people. This hoist is intended to be used for the
sole purpose of lifting or lowering materials and equipment directly between the ground and a roof,
intermediate floor, or scaffold. The hoist should be used only on flat, level roofs or masonry floors.
When mounting to scaffold, the scaffold must be erected to OSHA and ANSI standards. Any other
use of this equipment voids the manufacturer's warranty and is the sole responsibility of the owner/
user, should any damage or injury occur.
